Ocean technology systems recalls guardian diving masks

Undersea Systems International Inc., doing business as Ocean Technology Systems, of Santa Ana, Calif., has recalled Guardian full-face diving masks. The recall includes about 1,700 masks in the U.S. and 80 in Canada. The purge assembly on the diving mask can disengage from the regulator, resulting in loss of air to the diver. This poses a drowning hazard to the consumer. The company has received one report of a disengaged assembly. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves Guardian full-face diving masks with serial numbers 9051284 through 10070954. The serial number is printed on the main regulator body. The diving masks were sold in various colors. The Ocean Technology Systems’ logo is affixed to the front of the mask.

The masks were sold by diving equipment retailers and direct sales nationwide from September 2010 through November 2010 for about $800. Consumers should immediately stop using the diving masks and contact Ocean Technology Systems for instructions on conducting a test of the regulator and returning the masks for a free repair.
